Height, slopes and snow line
At Rasos de Peguera, the freezing level reaches 2,970 m to 3,520 m on 8 November, above the top of the resort (2,036 m): rain or wet snow is possible on every slope that day.
Look for snow high up and on north-facing slopes: they keep it longest, while south-facing slopes lose it first in the sun.
Safety and avalanche level
Before you ski off-piste or go touring, read the official avalanche bulletin (links below).
What is coming next
Forecasts a few days ahead can change: look at the map again the day before you travel.
Tips for skiers
- Snow on the map does not mean a resort is open: check lifts and opening dates on the resort's website.
- Smaller resorts near the leaders often get the same snow with fewer people: compare them on the map.
- Early-season snow is thin. Stay on open, groomed pistes: rocks and grass can hide just under the surface.
- Look for snow high up and on north-facing slopes: they keep it longest, while south-facing slopes lose it first in the sun.
- Get a powder alert in the SnowScope app to know when Rasos de Peguera gets fresh snow.
About these numbers
Resort snow depths are the deepest snow on the resort's upper slopes from the SnowScope snow model (about 1 km, run of 5 November); they are estimates for an area, not a measurement at one point. Station values are measurements on the date shown. Forecasts can change. Always read the official avalanche bulletin before going off-piste.
